Source Mage's tagline is "Linux so advanced, it may as well be magic" (a reference to [[Clarke's three laws|Clarke's third law]]),<ref name="sorcery">[http://sourcemage.org/Intro official website]</ref> and its commands have a "sorcerous theme". The instructions to each [[Software package (installation)|package]] is called a "spell", and its package management program is called "sorcery".<ref name="sorcery" />  To install a package the user must "cast" that spell. Casting a spell consists of downloading the source code (if it is not already downloaded), checking for dependencies, casting them if necessary, compiling the program, and installing it. A set of available spells is called a "[[grimoire]]".  To uninstall a package the user must "dispel" the spell.
